something that is very bad for the plants if the ratio of water lost to water taken in is too drastic. The cells may lose their turgidity and may even submit to plasmolysis‚ which will result in the plant wilting and eventually dying. Water loss via transpiration (loss of water vapour from the aerial parts of a plant due to evaporation) is fundamentally inevitable due to the fact that plants exchange gases with the atmosphere‚ via their stomata-the pores in a leafs epidermis . The bad aspect of this is

move themselves if living conditions change to being unfavorable. Plants are dependent on photosynthesis for survival‚ to help them with the process of transpiration. Under a microscope we can see that plant cells have cell walls that are filled with chloroplast and chlorophyll‚ which is the method for gaining nutrients and performing transpiration. Plants are also identified by their ability to carry out alternation of generations‚ which means that plants are capable of performing both mitosis and

and longitudinal muscles‚ producing a wave-like motion to move food down the oesophagus‚ from the mouth to the stomach. Emulsification: It is the hydrolysis of a few large fat globules into many small and soluble fat molecules. Transpiration: Transpiration is the loss of water vapour from the exposed parts of a plant; by evaporation from the leaves‚ stems and branches and by the escape of water vapour through the stomata. Respiration: Respiration is the breakdown of glucose molecules

Distinguish between the strategies used by autotrophs and heterotrophs to obtain free energy for cellular processes. In other words‚ how and in what form does each capture and store that energy? 2. Explain how photosynthesis differs in eukaryotic organisms (with organelles such as chloroplasts) and in prokaryotic organisms (single-celled‚ no organelles). 3. How does a metabolic

amount of the Earth’s freshwater (0.003%) is contained within biological bodies and manufactured products. Water on Earth moves continually through the water cycle of evaporation and transpiration (evapotranspiration)‚ condensation‚ precipitation‚ and runoff‚ usually reaching the sea. Evaporation and transpiration contribute to the precipitation over land. Safe drinking water is essential to humans and other lifeforms even though it provides no calories or organic nutrients.

every day and with a base of porous sand; water availability is very scarce and must be conserved. The abiotic factors in the dry wallum are that the area is exposed to high amounts of sunlight which causes a loss of water in the leaves through transpiration. Since the wallum is so dry and hot; bush fires play a major cycle in the dry wallum which the trees have adapted to cope with. The roots of the plant and tree species have to cope with the leeching of nutrients because of the high porosity sand

INTRODUCING WITH BIOCHEMICAL CYCLES Biochemical cycles Nutrients are important for organisms to function. Each nutrient has a role in global biogeochemical cycles. A nutrient is a chemical that organisms need to live and grow and are substances an organism’s uses for metabolism which must be taken in from its environment that enrich the organism. Two types of nutrients are macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients are needed in large quantities while micronutrients are needed in smaller
